Figure 3. Cine angiography showing PCI of the LAD in a patient presenting with anterior wall STEMI. (A and B) Initial angiograms showing large fusiform aneurysm and occlusion of the proximal LAD. (C) Coronary guidewires advanced distally beyond the culprit lesion, manual thrombus aspiration with Export catheter and GPI administration through guiding catheter. (D) Balloon angioplasty with semi-compliant balloon. (E and F) Final result. PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention; LAD: left anterior descending artery; STEMI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. GPI: glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
